EXCLUSIVE: Prince William is 'too thick' for Cambridge University

LUCK: Wills, 31, is about to start a tailor-made 10-week course in agriculture despite only gaining ABC grades [GETTY]

The uni normally demands A*AA at A-level for entrance.

But Wills, 31, is about to start a tailor-made 10-week course in agriculture despite only gaining ABC grades. In one online article, Cambridge graduate Melissa Berrill wrote: “It’s an insult to every student whose A-levels and degree are the same or better than his, and who didn’t get a free pass to Cambridge in spite of them.”

Cambridge University newspaper The Tab also reported on the story. Writer Will Heilpern said: “The Tab must point out that normally students need A*AA at A-level to gain entry to Cambridge University, whilst the Prince only achieved a mediocre ABC.”

Student James Brinning tweeted: “Prince William clearly only got into Cambridge because of his royal status.”
